Chapter 143: The General Trend (4)
“…… That's it, south, north, rush, slow, the army, navy, plus the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, these days there is a lot of debate......"
Liu Yun was holding a white gold-rimmed coffee cup from nowhere, and the swirls in the coffee cup could not reflect his image, but he could still find his dead face from Wen Yi's face behind the coffee cup.
"The crux of the matter lies in your thoughts, right?" Wen Yi said lightly, and coughed twice.
"I still think that way."
"So you let Chen Siguang, who speaks German better than Chinese, be the foreign minister?"
"That's not the most important ......," Liu Yun put down the coffee cup in annoyance, "I'd better drink water, whether it's tea or coffee, I feel very tired lately." ”
Wen Yi shook the bell in his hand.
In came a delicate and feminine maid, dressed in a black and white dress and a white crepe headscarf.
I don't know why, as soon as I saw her, Liu Yun remembered Qianhua, even if this woman was completely incomparable with Qianhua.
Two days ago, Qianhua left Beijing and began to "inspect" the unprecedented new country created by the "rebel group" headed by Liu Yun.
"Get a cup of water for Wu Weigong." Wen Yi instructed the maid.
"Yes......"
Liu Yun noticed that the maid's stomach was not ordinary.
"That's familiar." Liu Yun did not ask a direct question.
"That's Xiao Ye, I don't remember what day it was, I mentioned it to you, what? Interested? ”
"Don't dare...... Looking at her appearance, I'm afraid it's ......"
"Just as you think." Wen Yi didn't intend to hide it.
Liu Yun exaggeratedly pursed his mouth into a U-shape: "That's really the case...... Want to congratulate you? ”
Wen Yi shook his head: "I don't know either." ”
"It's really selfish, don't think about the woman, but also for the sake of the child."
"I was wondering what I would do if there was a task force coming in one day and my daughter was in there."
"The example in front of you, just learn from me? Don't you think it's good now? ”
Wen Yi sneered.
"What? What's the grievance? It's been a long time since you've experienced the days when you're surrounded by children, right? Don't worry, if you work harder, we will soon be able to catch up, and we must not only create history, but also create the future. Liu Yun said proudly, compared to Wen Yi, he naturally has a reason to be proud.
"There are some words, I don't know if I should say them or not......" Wen Yi rarely hung Liu Yun's appetite so boringly.
"I've said that, of course I have to say it." Liu Yun has a heart.
"Keep an eye on your Qianhua, from all aspects, her performance is not quite right, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, what I'm worried about is that you are too accommodating to her because of guilt, I'm afraid it will cause problems."
Liu Yun frowned: "What did Luo Sulan tell you?" ”
Wen Yi tapped his earlobe: "Don't blame Xiao Luo, I have my own eyes and ears." ”
"I'll take care of my family's affairs myself."
"You are our supreme leader, and if the affairs of your family affect the exercise of your duties, then it is not just your own business."
"Qianhua is my daughter."
"How much do you know about her?"
"I'm her father after all."
"How much does she understand you?"
"Can you stop talking about this today?" Liu Yun didn't plan to turn around.
"Loyalty is against the ear......" Wen Yi half smiled and half sighed.
"Going back to the question just now, how do you see the international situation in the next ten years? I insist that war in Europe was inevitable, and that the history of Europe still rotates according to its original laws, as recorded in the history books, and in 1900 the plan for the Ocean Fleet proposed by Tilbitz was successfully approved by the Reichstag, and its main content is exactly the same as recorded in the history books - a superfleet of 39 battleships and 59 cruisers! The contradictions between Germany and Britain and France and Germany are still fundamentally irresolvable, and the current European banking group is only a flash in the pan. Come to think of it, Russia has suffered much more losses than the Russo-Japanese War in history......"
"In the Asian-Russian War, the Russian army suffered 560,000 casualties, including 180,000 deaths, and another 260,000 prisoners, and returned 1.53 million square kilometers to China's northeast and northwest countries. In the Russo-Japanese War in history, the Russian army suffered 270,000 casualties, including more than 50,000 dead and tens of thousands, gave up the Kwantung leased land and the Changchun-Lushunkou railway and its subsidiary rights, and ceded the southern part of Sakhalin Island, but still had the right of way of the Middle East Railway in North Manchuria. As for the navy, in the two wars of different time and space, the losses of the Russian army were roughly the same, but our side did not capture as many Russian battleships as Japan in history, and our losses were roughly the same as those of Japan in history, and the wings of that butterfly fanned such a big storm......"
"That's right, so the threat that Russia can pose to Germany after this war is bound to be more powerless than what is recorded in the history of our time and space, and the threat of Germany to Britain and France will be more serious, and Britain and France will naturally react more positively to this more serious threat, as far as reality is concerned, in April of this year, as recorded in history, Britain and France reached an entente to adjust the relationship between the two sides in North Africa, and Britain recognized France as Morocco, and France recognized Egypt as a British colony, if everything goes according to the history booksThe next step should be to start negotiations between the general staffs of the two countries on the formulation of a joint operational plan for the war against Germany, and then the Anglo-Russian entente to solve the problems of Iran and Afghanistan will inevitably be reached, just look at the face of Germany now taking advantage of the danger of others, and it is clear that it says that Russia is friendly and cooperative with Russia, but in fact it has attached many conditions to the aid loan to Russia, such as asking Russia to import grain and arms from Germany at high prices, and to make concessions to Germany's allies on the Balkan issue, and Russia will soon understand. Britain and France will soon act, too, and the short-sighted and clumsy diplomacy of the Germans will soon push Russia into the arms of Britain and France......"
"Character determines fate. Over the past hundred years, German philosophers have nurtured the seeds of madness in Germany: Fichte believed that the Germans were chosen by God to occupy a high position in the history of the universe; Hegel saw them as messengers leading the world to a glorious future in which German civilization would inevitably spread; Nietzsche told them that supermen don't have to be subject to ordinary people; Treitschke regards the expansion of power as the highest moral duty of the state; And the German people as a whole call their secular monarch 'Supreme'. This is a solipsistic whole that has accumulated over time, which has fed the German people, created a nation-state, a nation-state fed by 'the extreme illusion of self-proclaimed absolute will', and does not completely destroy that whole, but only changes its appearance, and does not change the essence of that nation-state, so that after Wilhelm II there was Hitler, and after the Second Reich there was the Third Reich......"
"It seems that in Europe, we are in common." Liu Yun clearly wanted to go further.
The water was delivered, two cups, and Wenyi's medicine, one red one, and two white ones.
"You go and rest, let Midori take your place." Wen Yi took care of Xiaoye Dao.
"It's okay, just let me serve the master......"
"Be obedient, rest, the child is important."
Xiao Yexiao's face turned crimson, glanced at Liu Yun uneasily, nodded lightly, and retreated in a panic holding the tray.
Liu Yun took the opportunity to tease: "It's all at this point, and you're still blushing...... You've got a lot of tender grass......"
Wen Yi immediately counterattacked: "Does the bad middle-aged man who forcibly marries a sixteen-year-old underage girl have a position to say to others?" ”
"It's normal to get married at the age of sixteen here."
"Taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules to make profits, and I don't feel guilty at all, it is natural for Qianhua to put on that stinky face when she first saw you, and now that I think about it, I shouldn't waste my feelings at all to pity you guy......"
"Poor ...... who didn't need you in the first place Bad old man, don't take medicine honestly soon. ”
After each swallowing half a glass of water, the two of them seemed to find the reflection of their souls in each other, and their pupils and the corners of their mouths trembled nervously.
"Go ahead...... I just talked about the problem of the European war......"
Liu Yun felt that he should get used to this trembling feeling.
Wen Yi chose to forget this feeling.
"A war in Europe is inevitable, and the strategic direction of the empire should be formulated under this premise, and among the various opinions at present, Zhong Xiahuo's policy of rapid advance on land is completely undesirable, and the strategy of the Philippines and Hawaii raiders of the navy is even more outrageous with sabotage operations on the west coast of North America, and the opinions worth considering must be based on the premise of slow advance."
Wen Yi nodded weakly: "At present, once the treaty is torn up and the war against Russia is resumed, it will inevitably lead to a sharp deterioration of the international environment, one of the backgrounds of the New York Peace Treaty is that Britain and France will prevent our country from further weakening Russia in order to preserve enough strength to contain Germany from the east, and the United States' plan is to prevent our country from overextending and completely breaking the balance in the Pacific region, so Britain and France will not hesitate to use the threat of force, and the United States will use loans and trade as bargaining chips, which is related to the political prestige of Britain, France and the United States, Germany is far from preparing for war at this time, and China's industrial strength is only comparable to that of Russia and slightly inferior to France, even if the rapid advance policy of the navy is adopted to temporarily loot the Philippines, Hawaii and even the west coast of the United States, once the US Atlantic Fleet and the combined British and French fleets counterattack, Britain, France, and the United States, especially the United States, mobilize the prospect of the East Asian alliance, and even if the mainland is barely defended, the future sea power in the western Pacific and Japan may temporarily bid farewell to the empire...... ”
